Journal of Medical and Psychological Trauma

Aims and Scope

Journal of Medical and Psychological Trauma (JMPT) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of trauma-related disorders. JMPT provides a global platform for researchers, clinicians, and professionals to disseminate the latest findings, innovative therapies, and evidence-based practices for both medical and psychological trauma. JMPT encourages contributions from a diverse range of disciplines, including:  

• Psychology, Psychiatry, and Neuroscience  
• Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health  
• Military and Veteran Studies  
• Epidemiology and Health Policy  
• Social Work and Anthropology  
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex PTSD  
• Anxiety, depression, and dissociative disorders following trauma  
• Neurobiological and psychological mechanisms of trauma  
• The impact of trauma on emotional regulation and cognitive function  
• Traumatic grief and prolonged stress responses  
• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and associated neurological dysfunction  
• Chronic pain and somatic symptoms related to psychological trauma  
• The physiological effects of trauma on the immune and endocrine systems  
• Long-term medical complications arising from severe injuries  
• Interactions between physical and psychological trauma  

We are particularly interested in pharmacological and psychotherapeutic interventions, such as CBT, EMDR, and exposure therapy, as well as emerging neuroscientific approaches to trauma treatment. Additionally, we welcome research on digital health solutions, including virtual reality therapy and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven interventions, and alternative and integrative therapies, such as mindfulness and trauma-informed care. Submissions related to trauma in specific populations, such as military veterans, first responders, healthcare workers, children, adolescents, elderly, and disabled individuals, are also encouraged. Lastly, we welcome submissions on psychological and medical responses to natural disasters, terrorism, war, medical accidents, surgical complications, and adverse childhood experiences.
